As a parent of a young adult: OP, you need to realize that as kids get older, activities will be more, not less, important to them. All the "forget activities, things are too kid-centric, they'll live" PPs likely have never had a child/teen who truly enjoyed, and benefited from, their chosen extracurricular activiteis or hobbies. My DD chose her activity, did it for all of K through HS, and loved it; yes, we had to be involved--at a minimum, to drive her to this activity, but I was much more involved in other ways. It really helped shape and define her and gave her incredible experiences from which she still benefits today. All that is to say, OP: Your DH needs to get his act together or your current resentment will curdle into toxic hate by the time your kids are in middle school and dad does nothing at all with them and lets you drive them, volunteer, etc. It's fine for kids to have activities and it's healthy, but parents who are a$$es of selfishness, well, their kids DO know it, even if the kids don't say it.
